Ancora Qui Lyrics in English Elisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ancora Qui by Elisa from Italian to English.
Still here
You again
But now
I know who you are
Who you'll always be
And when you see me
You'll remember
Still here
You again
And I hope you'll forgive me
You with the same eyes
You seem to come back asking about me
About how I'm doing
And how it goes over here on the other side
Green grass, warm air
On my feet, over the flowers
A wind rises among the colors
It almost seems like you
Even the sky changes name
That cotton so white
How fast it moves
Lost in the middle of blue
It's something in you
It's what will come back like it already was
Still here
You again
And what's been is done by now
And with the same eyes you seem to come back asking about me
About how I'm doing
And how it goes in this strange world
Outro
You'll come back and I'll come back
And you'll remember
I'll remember
Outro
You'll come back
I'll come back
Outro
I'll remember

SONG MEANING

Ancora Qui (which means Here Again) is Elisa’s heartfelt postcard from the past to the present. In gentle, soaring lines she greets a familiar face that keeps re-appearing in her life, almost like a ghost woven from memories. She now knows who this person truly is, yet every reunion still feels magical: old questions return, shared moments resurface, and the bond refuses to fade. The song invites us to stand in that delicate space where love, forgiveness, and nostalgia blur together, reminding us that time can bend but genuine connection never really breaks.

Wrapped in vivid imagery—green grass under bare feet, warm air swirling between bright flowers, cotton-white clouds racing across a blue sky—Elisa paints the scene of an eternal springtime. Nature mirrors the relationship: winds shift, colors change, yet something essential stays the same. By repeating “Ritornerai, ritornerò” (“You will return, I will return”) she promises that both hearts will keep finding their way back, carrying the sweet ache of yesterday into the hope of tomorrow.
